I hear the phrase, It's okay, I don't have to impress anyone.  Many get to that point and feeling once they reach a certain level.  That can be in a relationship, in their career and so on.  I disagree wholeheartedly with that phrase. You only get one chance to make a...

Being on the go and not saying no causes some limitations.  The first being the fact that it's been a year since I've provided a post.  I still send a morning message on social media to reach more as requested.  However, the direct interaction with some have been hard...

So much in sports and life is decided by one pitch/one event.  The difference between success and failure.  The difference between wins and losses are often decided by one pitch.  You can put so much time and effort into something and then the outcome is dictated by...

Take pride in each step you take, the footprint you leave will impact the person(s) following you.  We often take for granted how important the little things are to others.  A misstep should never derail us from our final designation. Now that those thoughts are out...

We've all had a time when we were the best option for a role and didn't get it.  We've been told I like you, but not like that.  Some will continue to be persistent in hopes of getting their dream result. Some however, get tired of the no's and move on. You may have...

We've all been in a situation where someone has told us we can't do something.  Often times that thing we're told we can't do is something we love to do.  I'm in that situation now, I was told by a doctor I can't workout for a month.  I'm not handling that well as...

Last night I got to see one of my favorite bands, Metallica in concert.  I had a chance to see them when I was in high school, but decided to pass because I had a baseball game.   I made the comment then, I will get a chance to see them later.  Alittle more than 26...

The expression you will only live once is one I grew up hearing.  As I got older that changed to you only die once but live everyday.  We can look at both of those expressions and see inspiration as well as some doubt.  Some face each day doubting why we're here and...

As a child I used to love snow, watching it, playing in it, snowball fights, the works.  I remember my Dad and other adults not being as fond of it, as an adult now I understand some of that.  Watching the snow and thinking of all the work (shoveling, driving, etc)...

One of the greatest pregame speeches came from Coach Bill Stewart before WVU played Oklahoma in the 2008 Fiesta Bowl.  "Leave No Doubt" still brings me goosebumps every time I hear it.  Coach Stew's words came when so many felt WVU was overmatched and was going to...

These last couple of weeks has brought about a lot of emotions and lack of inspiration.  I feel like we are all on our own rollercoaster.  Enjoying the excitement of the ups but then experiencing the bumps of the down.  How can we stay inspired when we only see and...

Yes, Alan Iverson, we are talking about practice.  I like so many during my playing career took practice for granted.  My senior year in high school was when the realization truly set in, especially after I suffered an injury in football.  Still remember the last...

Over the last week we have had some painting done at our house.  This morning while I was getting ready for work I looked at the blank wall above my bathroom sink.  For years there's been a mirror hanging there.  I've looked, I've stared and I've gotten ready looking...

Everybody runs, even those who say they hate running.  We run from, run to or run for something.  The problem is often we run from what we should run to.  We run to what we should run from and struggle with what we're running for.  I've noticed my answer lately to the...

If you've ever played a sport you know the ultimate goal is to win.  For some that is the end all goal, win at all costs.  By many I would not be considered a very good coach as winning isn't my main focus, especially at younger ages.  I've been trusted by parents and...

Yesterday was like most of my days, I was running from one event to another and during a quick stop at home I lost my keys.  I had them was on a call and trying to rush to get to my next appointment.  I had no idea what I did with them.  Like so many I tried to...

The definition of success states, the accomplishment of an aim or purpose.  It also mentions, there is a thin line between success and failure.  I've been thinking about this topic for a couple of days.  I saw a house listing recently that had everything I wanted,...

I'm a big fan of movies and characters.  It has always been part of an escape for me to lose myself in film.  Like many, I loved The Karate Kid.  I was four when the original movie came out and felt like I grew up with Daniel LaRusso.  I sided with Daniel early on and...

When I was in the 6th or 7th grade I was at a friends house and we started calling girls from our school. We said were conducting a survey for the school asking all the girls to name their top 10 most attractive guys from our class.  As the calls continued I began to...

I wrote a couple of years ago about trying to be perfect in an imperfect world.  As I watch others I see that mindset is still at the forefront of many a thought.  I witnessed somethings this year that surprised me and honestly made me rethink some of my own...
